AUBURN - A Union Springs man pleaded guilty in Cayuga County Court Tuesday to the criminal sale of a controlled substance.
Joshua Jones, 26, of 90 Cayuga St., Union Springs, admitted to selling cocaine to a confidential informant on Sept. 5, 2006. Jones' plea will satisfy two other pending charges.

Jones is expected to receive a two-year shock camp prison term with $230 in restitution when he is sentenced on May 20.

• An Auburn man was classified as a sexually violent level II sex offender after scoring a 90 on his evaluation.

David Laning, 21, of 149 Van Anden St., Auburn, was convicted in a military court martial in 2005 of sodomy by force for forcing a woman to have sex with him while he displayed a knife.

• A Red Creek woman pleaded guilty to attempting to cash a forged check for $1,500.

Kelly Finnerty, of 6729 Wolcott St., faces 2 to 4 years in state prison when she is sentenced on May 13.

Finnerty's plea also took care of pending charges for petit larceny and making a false written statement in Auburn City Court and the town of Sennett.

• An Auburn woman received a five-year shock probation term, which will require her to spend her weekends in the Cayuga County Jail for the next four months.

Jessica Enge, 22, of 6468 Sharon Drive, Auburn, pleaded guilty to attempting to sell cocaine to a confidential informant on Jan. 5, 2007.

When faced with the option of handing out a shock probation punishment or a shock camp prison term, Cayuga County Judge Mark Fandrich said he did not believe a prison sentence was appropriate considering Enge had been battling cancer and undergoing substance abuse treatment.

• Brian Shimer, 21, of 101 Rochester St., Port Byron, pleaded guilty to burglary.

Shimer admitted to breaking into a barn and stealing an all terrain vehicle on Oct. 28, 2007. Shimer is expecting 1.3 to 4 years in prison with a recommendation for shock camp and restitution when he is sentenced on May 13.

• A Moravia man was remanded without bail as preparations were made to extradite him to Michigan on a fugitive warrant.

Mark Coultes Jr., 29, of 60 Oak Hill Road Apt. 3, Moravia, was wanted for a violation of parole when he failed to show up for a probation sentencing.

• James Kyse consented to extradition charges from New Jersey relating to the criminal possession of a controlled substance.
